A 記録，記録的な／記録する 出席 of 2,389 was proof enough that there was no room at this tiny 非，不，無-League outpost, where freight trains rumble above the main stand and the village 地位，任命する Office （テニスなどの）ダブルス as a ticket office.

And Cowley said: 'This tonight was our real world. The FA Cup has been brilliant, we've connected with the community, with the city and the whole country now, but the league is the 適切な時期 to change our lives. This is proper football.'

One of them bemoaned having to spend '£15 on newspapers yesterday', only to then speak of his pride at seeing his young son pictured in several.

Another queried the 支配するs on Europa League 資格. 'Would we qualify,' he 投機・賭けるd, 'if we lost in the final to a team already in the 最高の，を越す four?'. He is told not. 'Ah 井戸／弁護士席, we'll just have to go and 勝利，勝つ it,' he returns.

The chances are, of course, they will 出口 the 競争 in North London, and that made events in North Ferriby all the more important given Cowley's 主張 that 昇進／宣伝 to the Football League after a six-year absence remains their 優先.
